First of all, thanks to all of this powerful forum. My restoration of a friend D8B flooded (with mud!) was really long and started a long time ago.
Since then I bought a floppy usb emulator (not ipcas branded, i think it's a gotek one..) and with correct jumper placement I installed Os 5.1 and plugins SP3 thanks to this forum threads. But.... now I'm stuck with the OS not booting.
I tried 2 different HDD, changed EIDE cable, changed and tried different RAM sticks, replaced original PSU, followed BIOS settings guide for the MB (DFI PB-50 bx).... extracted the cards from back of the Mackie but no luck.
Now the mixer is stuck with a red light "RUDE SOLO LIGHT" and on display the msg "Loading Host. Please wait...".
My next step would be replacing parallel cable and re-opening and cleaning all connectors... am I correct? Sorry for bad english and hope to get It working again.. regards from Italy!
